For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.....John 3:16
The man was an angry alcoholic, self centered, hated people but loved himself to the extreme. A spoiled little kid that never really grew up. So when his adulterous mother killed herself on a suicide pact with her lover, poor little Chris got mad at God started spitting on anything good that God represents. I have no doubt that God in His mercy reached out to this man until his last breath. I just hope like that thief on the cross he yielded to the Lamb. Jesus Reigns!
@graftedin1996 Possibly the most pitifull, ignorant and laughable comment I have ever read on youtube. If you honestly beleive that - well - you are simply a pathetic human being.
@graftedin1996 the reasons why he believed and felt the way he did are moot. hitch had no equal regardless of the subject. his intelligence and wit are unequalled. i almost feel sorry for his opponents. almost. agree or dont, it dosent matter. you just got hitchslapped.
@graftedin1996 Don't you mean Jesus SAVES? And if Jesus did "reign" I imagine he could make it "rain" as in throw money into the air like in a strip club.
Wait a minute! Jesus in a strip club? Is that why so many men go there? MYSTERY SOLVED! LOL!

You've got a long way to go yet to get to Hitchens' level whatever your religious view may be. While I take a Voltairean attitude to religion, believing in freedom of religion, I do not believe in it personally. Answer these. How does his lifestyle impact the relevance of his views? What does his mother's suicide have to do in regard to his impeccable reason relating to religion? In what topic do you, obviously intellectually impeccable, provide a better explanation than Hitch?
@graftedin1996 I will you give you this: you did select a brilliant name for your troll account. I get that you were pressing on the point that every 15 year old on the internet is a little ignorant shit. I'm sure you masturbate to the replies you receive as they insinuate that someone is actually paying attention to you, but I'll take that risk. Rather than copy pasting your same old tired response, why not refute Hitchens? Prove him wrong. I won't be holding my breath.
Good riddance!! He was so overated and a mouthpiece to the Bush Administration with his unconditional support of the Iraq war. I don't understand how so many people can feel a certain way about Bush without directing similiar feeligs towards Hitchens.
RIP Mr. Hitchens. I never met you, but i feel a profound sense of love and loss. You were an erudite and honest man. No one could stand with you. You were truly head and shoulders above all.
I made an experiment to test my theory about atheists and theists being of the same psychology. That is, both groups are made up of individuals who assume, fight based on their assumptions, and rarely if ever critically "not-know."
When you MUST know, assume. It's stupid, but it's easy.

it's truly sad this man is dead today. we all know the reason thought, too much alcohol and tobacco however he was one of the smartest men that ever lived and it's a huge loss for mankind.
@CanadianGuitarist oh snap, i remember reading he was dead. This is good news indeed! let's hope he comes through the process alive and can keep helping us removing superstition and religion for a better earth
Uh, you're going to die too. In fact, we all will. What's your point?
You're the kind of anti-intellectual nob that Hitchens assails: A person says things like "you're stupid," as if saying that somehow is a valid argument. (It isn't.) Or a person who says makes strange connections between dying and atheism, without explaining them.
A great friend of mine believed as many of you did, 5 senses and all.
Then her dead son materialized in the front passengers seat whilst she was driving her car. She pulled over and stared at him in 'disbelief' for 5 solid minutes my friends.
5 solid minutes with he jaw dropped to the ground thrying to undrstand how everything she believed to be true was absolutely wrong.
It's not like the human brain can produce hallucinations or anything, so I *totally* accept your friend's isolated, unverifiable, anecdote as completely true at face value and as an overturning of all naturalistic knowledge.
@bowlsallbroken My friend, as well as his mother both saw the spirit of their close relative at the same time. Visitations happen all the time and are experienced by tens of thousands. If this info does not fit your world view, change it, or willingly remain ignorant. if you wish to remain in the dark that is up to you. I choose to see the bigger picture for what it is and will not be dummied into ignorance by fools like you.
From now on, I'll believe in everything and anything anyone ever claims in lieu of holding any standard of evidence, no matter how extraordinary or at-odds with our verifiable naturalistic understanding of things the claim is.
It's fun believing in ghosts, fairies, demons, Big Foot, astral projection, etc. but getting fooled by every charlatan, acid head, and lunatic on the block is sure gonna be a bitch.
@bowlsallbroken All your childish insults do is make me more confident in my beliefs as it is clear your point of view has nothing of substance to offer. Do you really think I will be swayed by your insults and ignorance? It is clear anything of a profound, wise, intelligent and meaningful nature will come from my perspective and not yours.You have a lot to learn yet you remain firmly resistant with your learning and remain firmly in the dark. Time to turn the lights on as no one is home.
I'm afraid that, not unlike your friend, you're probably seeing something that isn't there. Name *one* insult I used.
I'll wait...
You, on the other hand, have directly insulted me several times. Why is it you feel the need to project your own faults onto others? Do you even know you're doing it?
@bowlsallbroken Your redirection of the conversation off topic is a submission that your worldview has nothing to offer - and I literally mean 'nothing'. Nothing may satisfy the atheist, but it hardly satisfies the inquisitive mind that humans have evolved to have. Please do not tell me that pointless & purposeless is what you have concluded life to be. Also, please do not mock those who seek higher meaning. Humans have evolved to ponder higher meaning for a reason - because there is one.
I haven't said a damned thing about my worldview except that I'm skeptical about supernatural claims and need evidence, ya know, like any sensible person would when such claims are made. Go ahead and spin a yarn if it makes you happy.
"those who seek higher meaning."
When did *you* argue for higher meaning? All you said is we should believe in Casper.
@JoEEll2233 You can't evolve to believe in a doctrine. Do you know how evolution works? The reason for religious is that it is a social construct that has been popularly accepted many years.Your justification of the absurd is the exact thing that is going to keep people repressed and fearing a viscous god for years.
@Seigu007 You haven't said one single thing in this dialogue that has any substance, all you've done is lay down baseless criticism about what others say.
You're an empty shell of ignorance and it's showing and that's why you're getting all this abuse not just from me but everyone else too!!!
What are Atheists so happy about, the fact that they have noses? It must be nice to hate God so openly. Your ignorance and selfish human nature knows no bounds. Ungreatful fucking children.
@Jamesisshit Convieniently distorting the facts, and omitting relevant information makes you a model God-hating anti-theist so kudo’s for helping me prove my point when I state that you God-Hating anti-theists are simpletons, and need to be treated as such.
@Jamesisshit I’m happy to have an impact on your dismal view of yourself, and the world that you live in.Ask yourself this,”If you don’t believe in Jesus/God then what drives you to attack them?”
@maskofsan1ty .Exactly ! It’s your belief in God which drives you to relentlessly attack Him. Run of the mill, everyday ‘practical atheists’ don’t give God a second thought. Pathetic loser
@Seigu007 The most surprising thing about your comment is that it is well punctuated. At least you can spout hateful speech in the name of an invisible fascist in the sky and still be grammatically correct.
@StevieTVee92 I’m happy to have an impact on your dismal view of yourself, and the world that you live in.Ask yourself this,”If you don’t believe in Jesus/God then what drives you to attack them?
@Seigu007 Firstly, I take it back, your grammar is atrocious. Secondly, I attack them because these ideas make people abandon reason and critical thinking in favour of a hateful fictional character they believe created everything. Everything including, presumably, the bad things. Cancer, hurricanes, flu, the ability to unconditionally hate someone because they believe differently than you. But he still loves us, right?
@StevieTVee92 Thanks for the comment God-Hater but I have a nasty surprise for you.
The day that you can prove that there isn’t a single shred of empirical evidence, logic, reason or rational arguement for the non-existence of God,the day any anti-theistic God hater such as yourself can provide one, I’d be *delighted* to hear it. :-)
Now go back to your hole and don’t return. No one likes you. No one will ever like you. You are destined to be alone and miserable…FOREVER.
@Seigu007 To ask for negative evidence in the absence of any positive prove is illogical and unreasonable. One cannot look for proof, especially EMPIRICAL evidence of the non-existance of anything. However, the lack of such evidence can be safely interpreted as non-existance of the entity being studied or researched.
@Seigu007 God, unicorns, fairies, gnomes, all of these are what are known as unfalsifiable hypothesis. If I told you that there was a magic tyrannosaurus the followed you everywhere you went but disappeared whenever you looked behind you, would you believe me? Probably not, but you can't prove the tyrannosaurus doesn't exist. I cannot disprove the existence of God, but that doesn't mean he's real.
@Seigu007 Also, the fact that you would resort to ad hominem attacks doesn't bode well for your argument and speaks volumes for you intellect (or lack there of).
@Seigu007 Feeble? You don't know me, so judge not, asshole. I gave you a perfectly cogent argument for your earlier statement (the one about the unfalsifiable hypothesis). And once again you resort to ad hominem attacks because you yourself can't think up an intelligent rebuttal. If anything this suggests that your mind is the feeble one.
@Seigu007 Hey man, you should quit while you're behind.... your argument is bereft of substance. Carrying on is just going to make you look dumber and dumber.
@warren52nz As an idiot pointing out others errors while laying down a ton of them yourself it should all be reserved for the latently retarded. Understand that downs syndrome on your behalf is no excuse.
@Seigu007 Hahahaha, the old Ad Hominem attack. Oh well I started it I guess by pointing out your lack of education.
What errors did I lay down by the way? Pointing out that you're on a long downhill slide with your credibility in here? That's not an error, it's true, look at what people are saying about you!
Jesus restored the original Jewish law to the people, it's up to THEM to follow it.
However Jesus wasn't crucified, it was all STAGED for their benefit.
His legs were never broken, the body was missing, he was seen afterward by multiple witnesses--and he rose into the air and out of sight, a standard trick of Greek Theater 500 years before (literally "Deus Ex Machina).
Romans also never killed, if they could COLLABORATE; and a dead body = no messiah, so Jesus would play ball.

...in other words, religion can also be of inspiration, and i don t think its all backward.i find some religions very inspirational, and hardly backward,in my interpretations. to make a very one sided notion that its all bad, is irrational.
lets see, hitch went to oxford, and, well monks started oxford, and many european universities, and wrote on various topics,inlusive,philosophy and some sciences...and so on. mother teressa, helps millions of poor and those in india, a shame really, and he puts her down, and dali lami promotes a peaceful mind, and peace, and he puts him down, and well, hitch got his degree at oxford, and well,monks started oxford, yeah it would be great if there was no religion.
@stephgadda Does this impact in any way on its veracity? And if you really want to argue the contributions made to education by religion, the Dark Ages far outshine Oxford, don't you think? :P
@harmbry the dark ages, quite along time ago,and yes, oxford gradutates, are quite astute. but my simple point is that sometimes religious people contribute things to society and intellect.it is easy to look at the past and say how wrong they were, and what have you. it is my opinion, that some religious in the past, like, thomas aqinus,were very smart. the arguement i don t like hitch makes is that,"its all religions fault"...if god is not real,its not gods fault, or religions fault, its mans.
@stephgadda Well, that's a bit awkward, though; what does "man's fault" mean? Religions are man-made. Of course it's man's fault- through religion. And I don't think you can really say "oh, that's in the past" either, considering how heavily religious doctrine relies on bronze-age fantasy novels to give us advice on how the present should be. You are an uncommonly lucid debater for a defender of religion... Which leads me to suspect that you may be an atheist. Cheers!
@stephgadda Also (sorry; couldn't fit it all in one post), it means nothing that some religious people are intelligent. You, I gather, are living proof of that. My mother is catholic, and an engineer at a nuclear plant. A person needn't be stupid in order to harbour stupid ideas, as long as he or she has been indoctrinated in childhood. The point is more that religious people with something genuine to contribute do so in spite of their religion, not because of it.
@harmbry ...if a person in their conduct is inspired to do whatever they do, ie in society or what have you, because of faith, how is that not genuine? or in this regard , would this be in spite of their faith?
@stephgadda Well, there you have to make a rather uninspiring assumption regarding human nature; you have to assume this person would not have done any good (or would have done less of it) without the carrot-and-stick of the divine. If you are willing to put forth that people are generally petty, selfish and/or uncaring and can only (or more efficiently) be persuaded to do good by threats or bribery from a divine being, real or fictional, then I would have to concede your point. But, really?
@harmbry ...the notion that people do good, because of threats or psycholgical tactics, i think is a foolish notion. i would say in some cases it may be true, but i d also say, that people are so evil, that if they do good thru "psychological tactics" i d still say that thats ok. how can we get by anything we are taught or what are psycholgically ...so on. of course, hitch is free of all psychological tactics, in case of recieving psycholgicial tactics or buying anything false or...[cont d]
@harmbry ...[con td].../ all truth comes from hitch, whatever he believes. all things he says is gold. he had an interesting quote on hate i read. and if he critisizes boris yeltsin for being a drunk, it is criticism well worth it.
he is the supreme free thinker. of course i don t know what that means really.
but because he is able to critisize mother terressa, the dali lama, michael moore,etc...i guess this means he is a free thinker. but what he actually thinks himself, i m not quite sure.
@stephgadda I'm afraid I can distinguish very little meaning from your last post. When I comment on boards like this, I often find it helpful to look back at what I've written and trim off any unnecessary ellipses, comma splices, run-ons, etc. At the beginning, though, I gather you're proposing (correct me if I'm wrong) that people are innately evil and must be religiously persuaded to do good. This is what I was getting at before. Here we fundamentally disagree, because (cont'd)
@stephgadda (cont'd) I do not share your belief that people are inherently bad. I will certainly entertain the notion that religion may scare a few would-be ne'er-do-wells into mending their ways, but these cases (for I suspect that they are rare) are surely far overshadowed by even one religious war, no? There is nothing more foolish than absolute authority of the kind that can convince people like the 9/11 highjackers that they are behaving in a moral and responsible manner, by mandate.
Twas just revealed to me that Hitch writes & edits for VANITY FAIR! My God a FASHION magazine, really Hitch? Man that's disappointing. I'm sure it pays well but what about all the royalties from your books? I'm embarrassed to admit, but that does ruin your cred. a bit. Get well soon (& get a new job : )
One can only hope that in the war between civilization and religion, civilization will out.
As religions begin to lose, they will strike out (as they have done) in more abhorrent ways. Belief in tooth fairies and magic sky-daddies must be reasoned away and done so quickly. Thank you Mr Hitchens.
Say what you want about Christopher Hitchens, you cannot claim he is uneducated on foreign policy. You can say he is wrong, as I believe he is, but he is also one of the msot well read experts on foreign policy I have ever seen.
@Nemesis000000 He was in favor of invading both Iraq, and Afghanistan, As a matter of fact he beat the drum loudly for Iraq, and we see he was deeply wrong.
@siti1ca I just agreed with you. I think he is wrong too. But he's also far more educated on issues of foreign policy than you or I... he just comes to the wrong conclusions.
@Nemesis000000 Yeah but if the material you read on a particular subject was wrong, and you went on the media Tv etc, and spouted off about it, and it was wrong, doesn't that make you uneducated by default?
If he was truly educated about it, wouldn't he see beforehand that it was all BS and say so?
He is incredibly intellectual no doubt about that, but not when it comes to Foreign Policy.
@siti1ca No, because the moon is not made of cheese. It's more analogous to saying "the moon is very spacious, therefore we should give all our funding to colonizing it". Nothing factually wrong, just an opinion that I don't agree with.
Hitchens is very learned in foreign policy issues indeed. He could write a book about everything he knows... in fact he's written several. You can be wrong on your opinion while being knowledgable and smart.
The only people one can influence in such debate are those who are looking for an answer. The rest of us remain unmoved. One can easily see that there are too many generalized assumptions by both sides.
Cancer is a disease, a chronic metabolic disease akin to other chronic metabolic diseases such as scurvy, night blindness, pellagra & pernicious anemia. No such disease has ever been cured through mechanical manipulation of the body. Where cancer is seated isn't relevant to its cure. The preventative, cure & treatment of this vitamin-deficiency disease is Amygdalin (vitamin B17).
There are many deist who do not believe in an afterlife but believe in God. So for them fear of death is not the reason for their belief in the divine
I agree with Hitchens in other interviews where he says there is great irony that the US, a mostly Christian nation, is in Iraq to ensure secular rule. If this is the case, I would sugges that the US Army move into the midwest and the South to impose secular rule there as well :-)
Hitchens is "not afraid to hold an unpopular opinion." But when it comes to Christianity, his rejection is hardly rebellious. In fact, it takes a lot more courage to defend it than to slam it, Christianity being about the only thing left that it is not politically incorrect to slam.
@tamething1 Please! This self pitying idea that Christianity is under assault is weak. Just ask non-Christians living in the midwest and South, gays or atheists.
@xxDrudgeryReportxx You do realize that Hitchens wrote a book entitled "God is Not Great, How Religion Poisons Everything"? - and that people here are wildly applauding it, and his every slam at Christianity? Yet you scoff at the idea that Christianity is under attack? Where have you been?
if Hitchs understands that religion is not divine but actually man made
then he would argue that the problem is man and not religion
it is man who created religions and other jurisprudence philosophies and ideologies
any rational mind understands that its atheist socialists who made a pact with islam,not christianity. and that secular atheist Jews in Israel (or in nazi germany for that matter),are just as targeted as "messianic extremists"
here hitchens equivalents between jewisn house builders in Judea, law restricted christian extremists and islamonazis that actually are waging a global genocidal jihad
he doesnt mention the secular atheists advocators of islamonazism in the media,intiligencia,campuses,radical left movements,communist allies of iran, liberals in entertainment and in the UN
who also stand behind a man made ideologies,But for some reason,they find islam very sympathetic
@selfyeshua So you're saying that you have not heard anything about Christopher Hitchens saying anything about these supposed "Secular atheists advocates of Islamofascism" he has no idea what he is talking about? And who the fuck are these self-contradicting secularists who advocate Islamofascism? I seriously doubt they exist, just like there aren't any Nazi libertarians or secular people advocating theocracy, you can't have two traits, ideologies or opinions that utterly contradict one another
@selfyeshua and how much crack are you on man? Communist allies of Iran? Hollywood liberals? And what western liberals are against all religions but Islam?
You're just a pitiful, undereducated sheep who believes in every conspiracy you can get a hold of, it's pathetic.
Hollywood libs, give me a break, why the fuck would Hitchens criticize them? Psh...
@Kougeki1000 Iran and North Korea are working together to develop nuclear programs
irans nuclear plant is an example of Russian-Iranian economic ties
Fahrenheit 9/11 Michael Moore Fundraising Campaign for the "Ground Zero" Mosque
At the annual Cairo Anti-War Conference in Egypt John Rees, a British Trotskyite, observed: "Where else can you sit down in a single evening and listen to senior people from Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood.also attended was noam chomsky
the media highlight jews living in east jerusalem while completely ignoring the genocide in darfur
the media reported the jihadie massacre in fort hood was done because of "post traumatic stress syndrome" and the time square bomber was tea partier in the first few days
and the list goes on and on and on
and you call me the undereducated sheep ?

@Seigu007 To ask for negative evidence in the absence of any positive prove is illogical and unreasonable. One cannot look for proof, especially EMPIRICAL evidence of the non-existance of anything.

Jesus restored the original Jewish law to the people, it's up to THEM to follow it.
However Jesus wasn't crucified, it was all STAGED for their benefit.
His legs were never broken, the body was missing, he was seen afterward by multiple witnesses--and he rose into the air and out of sight, a standard trick of Greek Theater 500 years before (literally "Deus Ex Machina).
Romans also never killed, if they could COLLABORATE; and a dead body = no messiah, so Jesus would play ball.

@stephgadda Well, that's a bit awkward, though; what does "man's fault" mean? Religions are man-made. Of course it's man's fault- through religion. And I don't think you can really say "oh, that's in the past" either, considering how heavily religious doctrine relies on bronze-age fantasy novels to give us advice on how the present should be. You are an uncommonly lucid debater for a defender of religion... Which leads me to suspect that you may be an atheist. Cheers!

The point is more that religious people with something genuine to contribute do so in spite of their religion, not because of it.

Hitchens is "not afraid to hold an unpopular opinion." But when it comes to Christianity, his rejection is hardly rebellious. In fact, it takes a lot more courage to defend it than to slam it, Christianity being about the only thing left that it is not politically incorrect to slam.

Hitchens is GREAT. Piss on being politically correct. Hitch speaks the truth, and you know it. He has the balls to tell it like it is!

if Hitchs understands that religion is not divine but actually man made
then he would argue that the problem is man and not religion
it is man who created religions and other jurisprudence philosophies and ideologies
any rational mind understands that its atheist socialists who made a pact with islam,not christianity. and that secular atheist Jews in Israel (or in nazi germany for that matter),are just as targeted as "messianic extremists"
we are not great,we are the problem

@Kougeki1000 i was commenting on this video
here hitchens equivalents between jewisn house builders in Judea, law restricted christian extremists and islamonazis that actually are waging a global genocidal jihad
he doesnt mention the secular atheists advocators of islamonazism in the media,intiligencia,campuses,radical left movements,communist allies of iran, liberals in entertainment and in the UN
who also stand behind a man made ideologies,But for some reason,they find islam very sympathetic

@selfyeshua So you're saying that you have not heard anything about Christopher Hitchens saying anything about these supposed "Secular atheists advocates of Islamofascism" he has no idea what he is talking about? And who the fuck are these self-contradicting secularists who advocate Islamofascism? I seriously doubt they exist, just like there aren't any Nazi libertarians or secular people advocating theocracy, you can't have two traits, ideologies or opinions that utterly contradict one another

@selfyeshua and how much crack are you on man? Communist allies of Iran? Hollywood liberals? And what western liberals are against all religions but Islam?
You're just a pitiful, undereducated sheep who believes in every conspiracy you can get a hold of, it's pathetic.
Hollywood libs, give me a break, why the fuck would Hitchens criticize them? Psh...

@Kougeki1000 UNs biggest block is the islamic oic
the media highlight jews living in east jerusalem while completely ignoring the genocide in darfur
the media reported the jihadie massacre in fort hood was done because of "post traumatic stress syndrome" and the time square bomber was tea partier in the first few days
and the list goes on and on and on
and you call me the undereducated sheep ?
by the way you attack me instead of confronting the issues I cent your a commie/socialist yourself
